The Watchman's Children

When escape in a house obsessed is impossible, a madman's children will fight fire with fire. Murder and intrigue in south Texas; a weekly editor arrived from the east to save the yawning readership of a sleepy town; a family enslaved by an obsession grand enough to destroy them all. Nineteen eighty: A tired weekly newspaper in a south Texas town dozes obligingly while a plotting county judge, mayor and police chief scheme to put an entire Hispanic community under the waters of a lake that will make them rich. Editor William Benjamin, spouse to the yet undaunted Sheila and sire to five beautiful offspring, finds his life's mission in the newspaper. A town goes into shock; treacherous men plan violence; in the Benjamin family, obsession creeps like evil.
